The COVID pandemic was not only a challenge to our physical health, it challenged our mental and spiritual health as well. After the 10:00 am service on February 12, Rev. Tracy Mehr-Muska, who teaches at Hartford International University for Religion and Peace, will lead us in an exploration of strategies for being peaceful in the midst of difficult times such as these."

Please join us for conversation about the Sunday readings during the season of Epiphany. We will gather over Zoom on Tuesdays, at 5:30 PM and ending at 6:30 PM when we will discuss the readings from the Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany, (go to trinityhartford.org for Sunday’s bulletin). All are welcome!

If you have any questions, please contact Roy McAlpine.

Church by the Pond on February 18

Trinity's next opportunity to participate in this ministry led by Christ Church Cathedral is Saturday, February 18.

- We'll meet in the Trinity kitchen at 12:30 to prepare bag lunches, entering though the outside door to the kitchen.

- At 1:45 we'll bring those lunches to Bushnell Park, where we'll participate in the worship service by the pond, led by Rev. D.

- We'll distribute our lunches and personal care items following the service, and finish around 3:00.

All parishioners and families are welcome. Volunteers will observe mask and social distancing protocols in the kitchen, and Cathedral mask protocol in effect at the time for in-person worship at the park.

Questions? Feel free to contact Percy Williamson or Penny Pearson.

Our winter indoor workday will take place on Presidents’ Day, February 20, from 9:00 until noon.

The Adult Christian Formation Team is pleased to announce that this year’s Lenten Series, Geography and the Bible, will be led by Drew Smith. He will share his knowledge and experience of the Holy Land, augmented with photos taken during his five visits over a period of 30 years.

In our Sunday worship during Lent we hear stories about Jesus’ ministry, starting with his temptation in the wilderness and leading all the way through his last days on earth. These compelling stories are not fiction. They really happened, in real places that are still towns and cities, home to many people just as they were thousands of years ago. We hope that seeing those places, hearing stories of what they are like today, will deepen our connection to the stories that are central to the Christian faith. 

The series will be held the Sundays in Lent beginning February 26, following the 10 a.m. Eucharist. We will meet in the sanctuary because that space is the best for showing 35mm slides. Each meeting will last about one hour.

We hope you will plan to join us!  

On February 12^th , Kate and Drew Smith will again participate in the 5K Run for Refugees in New Haven. This annual event takes place to support the work of IRIS (Integrated Refugee Immigration Services) and its effort to resettle new immigrants to our country.
